they were often boring, "dark" variants of Bionicle vanilla, and didn't really do much for the story aside from... exist, hence the fan disdain at the concept, just didn't feel necessary compared to what greg could have chosen to write about...

not to sound rude or anything but you literally described exactly what i drew the last time hand designs were discussed: Right down to the use of the "T" technic pin to givethe thumb some swivel to it! O:

"from light, into being" this is impressive! i've noticed you have a knack for how bionicle shapes fit together to make something generally seamless, the head, in my opinion is set a little low into the shoulders, but i think that's more me being picky than anything inherently wrong. x: the light construct thingies are also neat!
